They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 280 Gathering is a fire, scattered is a sky full of stars
At the end of the shooting trip, there is only one day left before the promising wedding day.

The two shopkeepers, Chen Ming and Chai Shuyao, threw away their hands and hurried back to the Wei County Civil Affairs Department to get their marriage certificates. They then went back to Jinling to pick out wedding rings. A few days ago, they had sent the photos they had taken to the war zone. Propaganda Department.

Wedding photos and large posters are all completed.

The wedding was scheduled to be held at the Dongjiao Hotel in Jinling. Chen Ming and Chai Shuyao were young and had no impression of this place. However, Mr. Chai heard that there would be two weddings, and the first one would be held in Jinling. The Chen family was grand, so he would not be stingy. , with a wave of his hand, he arranged for Chai Jiancheng to book the Dongjiao Hotel.

After many years, the Dongjiao Hotel has once again become extremely lively. There are guards standing guard at the door. The venue was booked two days in advance, and the surrounding areas are closed in sections.

Only the three brothers Chen Qianghe and Chen Qianghe came to the Chen family. For convenience, the family all lived in the Dongjiao Hotel. Chai Shuyao’s father, Chai Jiancheng, and mother, Yan Xiaoyun, often came over to chat with them and communicate about the wedding tomorrow. detail.

Chai Jiancheng, Senior Colonel of the Navy in the Eastern Theater Command, and Yan Xiaoyun, Deputy Director of the Political Department of the Theater Command, were usually very high-ranking leaders in the military region. However, on the day of their children's wedding, they became no different from ordinary parents.

After getting to know each other these days, Chen Qianghe finally knew what kind of wife his son had married, and he also had a vague idea of ​​his in-laws.

Let’s not talk about the first generation of the Chai family, Mr. Chai. He was an iron-blooded soldier, an old hero who came back from the battlefield. The second generation of Chai Jiancheng and his brothers are all trying their best. The one with the highest position currently belongs to Mr. Chai. The eldest son is Chai Jianbang, Chai Shuyao’s uncle.

Chai Jiancheng is the youngest son.

The children of the Chai family are all up to par. They have technical backbones with superb business skills, sharp swords that command the sky, experts in planning and researching wars, and lofty ambitions that are as powerful as a rainbow to guard the waves.

Chen Kaifei, who usually didn't think highly of his second uncle's family in his hometown, now came to the Dongjiao Hotel and was completely silent.

Even the usually domineering Chen Ying shrank her head and dared not say a word. These relatives of her younger brother were the most awesome people they could come into contact with in their lives.

In the hotel lobby.

Chen Qianghe, Hu Caixia, Chai Jiancheng, and Yan Xiaoyun were arranging relevant matters while talking and laughing. Chen Qiangjiang, who used to often take care of things in his hometown, and felt that he had a wide network of contacts after being busy, sat in the hall silently. .

"Brother Chen, this child Yaoyao has been spoiled by us since she was a child. If she is ignorant and disobedient after getting married, don't be polite. Just say what she needs to say."

"We will also criticize her more, how considerate of you."

Chai Jiancheng said with a smile, picked up a package of internal supplies from the table, took it out and handed it to Chen Qianghe.

"That's a big deal. Yaoyao is very nice and obedient. She is much more sensible than that brat in my family."

"This kid is getting married tomorrow, and he still hasn't seen anyone until today. It's so unruly."

"Haha, as for my son, I usually don't have time to go out to play in the army. It's okay to go out for a stroll while getting married. My in-laws, you have raised a good son."

"Mingming is young in the army and has only been a soldier for a few years. He has gained some fame in the entire war zone. He is much better than I was when I was young."

"The old man is still very discerning. Some time ago, I was still worried about Yaoyao's marriage. Unexpectedly, I suddenly found a good home for her. I can finally let go of this worry."

The two families were sitting in the living room engaging in business exchanges.

At the door, Chen Ming and Chai Shuyao were holding hands and lying on the window sill outside to eavesdrop.

"My dad seems to be saying that I can't get married again." Chai Shuyao accused angrily, and then turned to stare at Chen Ming: "It's all your fault. If I hadn't boldly invited you this time, you would still have to pretend to be stupid. Until when?”

"How can this be considered me pretending to be stupid?" Chen Ming spread his hands innocently. Not to mention that he didn't have the energy to think about it. Even if he did, based on the original contact between the two, he would not chase someone for no reason.

Where to start?
I didn’t even have any contact information before, so the meeting was all arranged by fate.

"Okay, I forgive you." Chai Shuyao said with a smile: "Let's go in quickly. If it's a little later, my family will be really angry."

"Wait a minute, I took a deep breath. This is my first time meeting your parents, so I'm a little nervous."

"Hehe." Chai Shuyao stood aside and watched Chen Ming take a few breaths in succession. Before he made any movement, he dragged him away without any explanation: "Let's go. My parents are very talkative. You are not even afraid of my grandfather. Can I still worry about my parents?"

"Besides, even an ugly son-in-law wants to see his father-in-law. You are not ugly, so don't be afraid."

Is there such a saying?Chen Ming frowned. It seemed that his original words were that the ugly daughter-in-law would eventually meet her parents-in-law, right?
Unfortunately, Chai Shuyao didn't give him a chance to refute at all, and pulled him directly into the lobby of Dongjiao Hotel.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

"Uncle, hello aunt, hello uncle." Chai Shuyao greeted him naturally.

Chen Ming followed and shouted again, looking at Chen Kaifei and Chen Ying sitting in the corner, and just nodded slightly. The differences brought about since childhood prevented him from feeling the kinship with his uncle's family.

"Chen Ming."

"arrive."

"Whenever you arrive, come on, come on, sit here." Chai Jiancheng looked at his son-in-law with a smile.

Yan Xiaoyun was also watching. As the saying goes, a mother-in-law becomes happier the more she looks at her son-in-law, and it was true when applied to her.

After several years of military training, Chen Ming appears calm and exudes the perseverance and determination of a soldier. Yan Xiaoyun, the deputy director of the Political Department, is also very satisfied.

It is very good for a daughter to marry such a young talent.

"Dad, Mom, I want to sit too." Chai Shuyao took the lead and sat where Chai Jiancheng was pointing. In order to block her parents from being verbose, she took out a stack of photos from her bag.

"Look, this is the photo we took recently. Dad, please tell me if it looks good or not."

"Chen Ming, sit down too."

With that said, he pulled Chen Ming to sit on the sofa without any explanation.

"This kid." Chai Jiancheng shook his head with a smile. He was not moved by his daughter's change of subject, and deliberately said with a straight face: "You are just fooling around."

"You're getting married tomorrow. You almost didn't see anyone today, and you dragged Chen Ming out without coming back. Do you know that tomorrow is a major event in your life?"

"There's still a lot to prepare for."

"No, it's all ready. There's no need to put on makeup. Grandpa Shen can just be the one to officiate. Wearing military uniforms doesn't require dressing up."

"I have it all planned."

"Strictly adhere to grandpa's ideas and keep everything simple. We soldiers do not need so much red tape and should focus on young people."

Chai Shuyao strongly refuted her father. Indeed, their wedding was different from ordinary weddings. They didn't need a wedding company's officiant or make-up. Wearing military uniforms would be troublesome.

All you need to do is call your former classmates, good friends, or lesbians from the publicity department to be the bridesmaids. The rest is very simple.

"Okay kid, come home with me later and get ready as soon as you need to."

The mother, Yan Xiaoyun, looked at her daughter with a doting look on her face, "Mingming, please sit down too. From now on, we are all members of the family. Don't be polite."

"Okay, Auntie, I know." Chen Ming was squeezed in the middle, sitting in a standard position, looking straight and upright.

The sound of breathing is much softer than usual, as serious as you want.

"What are you still calling me aunt? You have to change your name." Hu Caixia reminded her with a smile on the other side.

"Yes, I have to change my words, haha." Chai Jiancheng also reminded his daughter with a smile.

After the discussion ended with a lot of laughter, the Chai family took Chai Shuyao back to prepare for the wedding the next day.

Chen Ming stayed at the Dongjiao Hotel and chatted with his parents.

In the evening, a military minibus stopped outside the gate. A man in uniform stood at the door with his hands on his hips. He looked like he was pointing the way and said with a smile: "Brother Chen is really good at finding this place. Haha, this is the place." Now I can enjoy it too.”

Just when this guy was feeling proud, a big foot flew out from behind and kicked him unceremoniously in the butt.

"Damn it, why don't you block the door? You are so damn talented."

"Ma Dazhu, I said you are grandma, you dare to kick me?"

"What? Want to try?" Ma Dazhu raised his fist as big as a sandbag. The person who was kicked just now was Wang Shuaibing. At this time, he was covering his buttocks and his face was full of anger.

But considering that his own force value was slightly different from that of his opponent, he could only swallow his anger and wink at the person behind him.

In an instant, Dong Ke and Wei Chongchong all rushed down and started beating Ma Dazhu. They were joking and laughing. They were very excited to be together again. They beat Ma Dazhu collectively because the grandson was a picket.

And Wang Shuaibing and others have become monitors of each class, and this "grievance" runs deep.

Chen Ming stood at the entrance of Dongjiao Hotel early, looking at these former brothers with a smile, and he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

"Damn it, Lao Wang, why do you always use dirty tricks when you hit someone in the face or kick someone in the butt?" "Fart, I kicked you in the face or slapped you in the butt, but I didn't use dirty tricks. "

"Nima."

The four of them were laughing and joking. Behind them, Zhu Guangzhi, Wei Wenbo, Su Zitao, Sun Longhui, Pang Pangwei, and Guo Yachao, who were members of the Seventh Group of the National Defense Science and Technology University, also arrived.

Dragon Ya's cabbage, broiler chicken, gray pigeon, tank, silver dragon, magic dragon and others also arrived.

They all received news from Chen Ming that there is a minibus outside the Dongjiao Hotel. If you come here and get on it, you can get here.

Now, these old brothers are all together.

Third Battalion instructor Zhang Jintao, firepower company Ma Hongjie, and staff officer Cheng Tiehu also arrived.

The most lively group of four saw Chen Ming standing in front of them and ran over first and shouted excitedly.

"Brother Chen."

"Squad deputy."

"Chen Ming."

"Congratulations, brother, I didn't expect you to get married so soon."

"Brother Chen, where is Director Chai? I heard that the two of you are really getting along?" Wang Shuaibing stared behind him.

Ma Dazhu slapped her on the forehead: "You stupid grandson, how could the bride be still here the day before the wedding?"

"Damn it, horse stick, you dare to hit me?" Wang Shuaibing's eyes widened with anger, and he seemed to be ready to fight if they disagreed.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, there are still people behind, I will greet them here." Chen Ming smiled and pulled Wang Shuaibing and pointed towards the hotel.

"Go ahead, brothers. You can stay in any room on the third floor you want. The buffet in the restaurant on the first floor has already started. We'll have enough wine and meat for tonight. I'll accompany you after I pick up the people."

"Okay, the class deputy is still very grand. This place is so beautiful." A few people walked into the door with a smile.

"Congratulations to the team leader." Several students who were acquainted with the National University of Defense Technology came forward to hug and expressed their excitement.

"Long time no see. Let's have a good rest here tonight and let's have a drink tonight." Chen Ming patted a few people on the shoulders and watched them go in.

"Team Chen, congratulations." Caitou, Huanlong stepped forward to shake hands.

"Here, come in,"

"Haha, Lao Chen, congratulations, you are so handsome today." The people from the third battalion came.

"Well, come on in, I'll be there later."

"Okay, you go ahead and don't worry about us. This place is so big, you can't go around, haha."

"Chen Ming, good job." Dong Guofeng, head of the Wei County Armed Forces Department, together with Wang Tianhao, vice president of the county management department, and director of the municipal management department, came to congratulate him on behalf of the management department.

The president, including the provincial management department, would come over the next day, but those people only came to attend the wedding for the sake of the old man.

Chen Ming has been in the army for several years and has made great achievements in the army. Now he is married to the granddaughter of the Chai family. This news is enough to alarm many people.

At night, the interior of Dongjiao Hotel became completely lively.

Dozens of young people gathered in the lobby cafeteria, drinking, drinking tea, and chatting with each other. Chen Ming became the protagonist of the scene and began to order the best man who will appear tomorrow.

Because the situation at Chai Shuyao's family is too special, there is no arrangement for picking up the bride to avoid unnecessary trouble. Tomorrow, the bride will be taken directly to the wedding site by her parents and handed over to the groom.

The best man is just a name in name. He will help welcome the wedding banquet tomorrow, or be the main force holding back the drinks.

"Haha, Brother Chen is getting married. The rest of us old bachelors must work harder in the future. Come on, come on, do it!!!"

"Cheers, I wish the class vice president a happy marriage and a beautiful son soon, go ahead!!!"

A group of people laughed and toasted, and some had tears in their eyes. They were very happy that the recruit brothers who had just entered the military camp could reunite again.

But this year they will be promoted to the second phase. Ma Dazhu is in the Third Brigade of the Guard Company directly under the brigade. This brigade is the picket of the brigade. The first phase is the limit, and there are no places for the second phase. This year, during the retirement season, he will take off his military uniform and go home.

Zhu Guangzhi has been raising pigs in the brigade logistics department for almost five years. He is not young at all, and has also learned the skills of raising pigs in the army. Now he sees the squad deputy getting married and starting a business, and he feels sad that even if he can be promoted to the second level in the logistics department, he has no intention of being promoted. .

They have done their part to serve the motherland. It is time to go home and think about their future affairs.

The squad vice-presidents are very capable and can make a name for themselves in the army, but they have grown up after all. They are not a group of young recruits who were fearless and had their own plans.

After three drinks and five dishes, Chen Ming could also see what these old brothers were thinking. He and they were both soldiers of the same age. How could he not know that after he went to the National Defense University to study this year, there would probably be many soldiers of the same age when he came back? They are all leaving.

Five-year military service is the choice of many people. Eight-year military service and 12-year military service are too long, and many people cannot afford to delay.

Their generation of soldiers of the same age is coming to an end.

at night.

Under the moonlight in the Dongjiao Hotel, a group of young soldiers who were dizzy from drinking put their arms around each other and laughed.

Staggering on the path.

"Squad deputy, you have to work hard in the army. I have guarded the artillery brigade for four years and nine months, and I will go home in three months. But it doesn't matter. The spirit of the army is still there, and the motherland needs me to come again."

Ma Dazhu's eyes flashed with tears, but he was yelling to describe his reluctance.

"Brothers, when we are together we are like a ball of fire, when we are scattered we are a sky full of stars. I have never believed that there are tasks that cannot be completed, difficulties that cannot be overcome, and enemies that cannot be defeated. I can come to the military camp and become a Your comrades are the glory of my life."

"Squad deputy, congratulations, you will be the groom's officer tomorrow. I have also guarded the logistics pigsty for four years and six months, and I was in the recruit company for three months. Those are the most unforgettable days for me. In these years, I I have participated in duty missions more than a hundred times, and I have successfully completed them.”

"I didn't understand before, I didn't understand why the squad leader cried so sadly when he left. Now I understand. Only when you take off this military uniform can you understand what this military uniform means to you. Goodbye, I can no longer endure my beloved military camp, and the end of the first term will be the end of my military career."

Chen Ming listened silently. This was a rule in the army, and there was nothing he could do about it.

What's more, everyone has their own choice, and he can't interfere. He can only wish these good friends to have a better life after they retire from the army.

"Brothers, remember the song we sang after the recruit competition? It's been many years since I sang with you."

"Come on, let me start and let's sing together."

"it is good!!"

Cheers echoed down the quiet road.

"Walked through wind and rain, experienced blood and fire, prepare and go."

"Through the wind and rain, through blood and fire, the glorious artillery brigade gathered under the military flag, the artillery shells roared, the air and sky patrolled, the ballistics flew, the fire of loyalty was ignited, move forward, move forward, move forward."

"In the first battle on the battlefield, use me. In the first battle, use me to move forward, forward, forward, forward."

"Sing the battle song of a strong army, the battle song of a strong army"

"Traveling through mountains and rivers, chasing dreams, you and me, the artillery brigade of the new era, the mission calls me, the iron fist of the god of war, guarding the border and defending the country, defeating the enemy with one move, watch my mighty fire from afar"

The majestic singing filled the night sky, as if it brought several people back to the recruit company a few years ago. Several people laughed and shed tears, and their eyes blurred while singing.

The time back then was ultimately lost and could never be returned. They had all grown into qualified soldiers.

The comradeship is still there, but some people are destined to leave.

The few people kept busy until early in the morning, and then regained their spirits and went back to their rooms to rest. At the same time, they pushed Chen Ming back.

Because after dawn, he is the real protagonist today.

After accompanying his former comrades, Chen Ming went to other dormitories to chat and take care of them as much as possible.

It wasn't until after one o'clock at night that I went back to my room to rest.
